Rescue and Ropework

Self-Rescue Courses
Are you confident that you could deal with an accident or problem part way
through a climb?

Introducing these skills is normally done at a single
pitch venue but skills for the multi-pitch
environment can still be covered.

These courses are designed to
help you solve problems like:
-Stuck or exhausted climber
-Accompanied Abseils
-Ascending a rope
-Strategies for a jammed abseil rope
-Escaping the system
-Hoisting
-Lowering
-Dealing with an unconscious or injured partner

Improve Your Ropework
These courses are designed to give you confidence in your understanding of
basic climbing ropework, to refresh your knowledge and improve your technical
skills.

For multi-pitch climbs or more in depth instruction I
work with a maximum of 2 clients at a time.

Skills to look at include:
-Gear selection and placement
-Double and single rope systems
-Belay building
-Use of direct belays
-Building top/bottom rope systems
-Holding a fall/lowering a climber
-Protecting a personal abseil
-Multipitch and retrievable abseils
